My room has always been a place to relax and unwind. For me, it has been a place further from the chaos of the world since childhood. The things that make it special are varied. To be honest, it represents me from the walls to the furniture in it - photos of friends, miscellaneous items, schoolwork everywhere - it holds objects that are very precious to me. It is a place full of sunlight and fresh air, which is important for both my mental and physical health. In fact, it is comfortable and provides a sense of security. Everytime, as I approach my room, it makes me feel closure and relief - the day is over and I can finally spend time with myself.

Before now I'd never considered my room to be a sacred place. Perhaps I should, since, whenever I am at home, I am always in my room. My room is the place where I can listen to music through speakers. It might not sound like much, but I enjoy it a lot. The music takes up the whole room and it puts me in the zone that aids me in whatever I am doing at the time. Furthermore, there are quite a few books in my room. My book collection is not very large and I have read most of it, but I still like it. I like the collection, because it is not just books I had to read for school. There are also books from my grandmother's childhood and even a book made to remember primary school. Lastly, my room gives me a sense of privacy. I know I am not the only one to say it, but it's just true. The sense of security is very important to me, because after a day of being around lots of people, I need a place where I can just calm down and be myself.

My room is the place where I can always be myself and feel safe. No matter what is happening in life, crisis or good times, I always find peace in my room. Every little thing there has its own place. In my room I keep most of my memories. Some of them are great and some of them are not sad, but they are my memories. They determine who I am and remind me of who I am, so I won’t get lost in life. Of course, I can call my room busy because it's big and I share it with my brother. Something is always happening here like jokes, games… Sometimes we play with a ball, on more special nights we bring our poker table here. Sometimes it seems like action here never ends but I love it.

I have always considered my room to be my safe place. Since I recently moved into a new home, I’ve had to readjust to a new space, new furniture and new colors. My biggest fear was that I could not feel it as "my" space, perhaps, because at the beginning it was an unknown place but above all because it was no longer my childhood room with all the memories attached to it. So, I tried to see this new adaptation as a way to mark the beginning of a new phase in my life: a phase of greater responsibility and growth. Obviously, in my new room I have all the objects that refer to memories with my friends, memories from my childhood or my family, such as photos, drawings or other material objects. Since homework takes up a lot of my time, I spend almost every afternoon in my room, but when I have a minimum of time to spend in the room without the stress of school I love to lie down on the parquet and listen to the music (basically rock) from the speakers. It may seem weird, but it’s something that gives me a lot of relief and relaxation, nevertheless, at the same time it gives me a lot of energy and good vibes. In conclusion, I would like to advise everyone to make their room their own safe and secure place, because that's how it is for me and trust me, it's really great.
